One of the really interesting questions here – this will be fascinating – the core of linear TV is sports rights. When you look at the size and scope of the linear TV business, it's huge. Patrick T. Fallon | Afp | Getty ImagesByron Allen, Entertainment Studios founder and CEO: I think linear TV will exist for a very, very long time. Simmons: I believe Apple, out of nowhere, will start making their own awesome televisions that have Apple TV embedded in them. We are witnessing early stages of this dynamic with deals like "NFL Sunday Ticket" on YouTube and the MLS deal with Apple TV.

Billionaire activist investors are putting pressure on top CEOs who were previously thought to be untouchable. Leaders of beloved brand names are coming under fire — and Marc Benioff of Salesforce and Disneys' Bob Iger are the two latest execs to feel the heat, as my colleague Matthew Fox writes. That means activist investors, moguls they may be, still face an uphill battle in winning over shareholders and management teams. What's your take on this burgeoning wave of activist investors? US stock futures fall early Tuesday, as investors brace for the next wave of high-profile earnings and despite growing hopes for a mild recession.

Recon Team ST Idaho was tasked with locating and destroying a fuel pipeline inside Laos. Just shy of a month earlier, on Thanksgiving Day, ST Idaho had barely survived a cross-border operation in Cambodia. ST Idaho debated if it was possible to lose the NVA and continue their mission but ultimately deiced against it. ST Idaho adjusted its path and continued its slow progress, throwing grenades at any noise they heard, nightmares of previous close-calls on their minds. Thick black smoke choked and blinded ST Idaho, but the SOG operators could see enemy troops advancing close behind the flames.
☆ Emergency-response technology with a 5G upgrade is having an impact in places like hurricane-battered Florida

It's likely to become commonplace that tools used by first responders and police will run on 5G networks. This article is part of "How 5G Is Changing Everything," a series about transformational 5G tech across industries. In June, from a remote farmer's field in Missouri, where cows wandered through the grass, AT&T tested its first 5G drone. Helped along by 5G, new technology designed to speed up disaster response is under development. In the meantime, though, networks and companies say they're continuing to innovate and expect 5G to have a profound impact on disaster response.

Those who fought this trend abandoned Twitter, hired bodyguards and tried to hide from the angry mob that was attempting to will stocks higher by savaging the sellers. As a result, they overran their brains and outsourced them to others who claimed to know more than they did. My point is this: The crypto con and the Robinhood dollar conflagration can't produce enough money to buoy stocks. We will hold Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL) and Amazon , even as we've trimmed them higher.

☆ A breakdown of gun terminology to help you in discussions on mass shootings and debates over gun control
  + stars: | 2022-11-22 | by ( John Haltiwanger | Azmi Haroun | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Brian Witte/Associated Press"Assault weapon" is among the most contentious phrases in discussions on gun control. There's not a universal definition of what an assault weapon is, which is part of the reason this subject tends to antagonize the gun lobby or gun advocates. In short, gun enthusiasts typically say a firearm should be called an assault rifle only if it's capable of fully automatic fire — and they tend to reject the term assault weapon altogether. "None of the so-called assault rifles legally owned by US civilians are assault rifles as the term is used in military contexts," Gary Kleck, a criminal-justice professor emeritus at Florida State University, told PolitiFact. Kleck added: "Assault rifles used by members of the military can all fire full automatic, like machine guns, as well as one shot at a time, whereas none of the so-called assault rifles legally owned by US civilians can fire full automatic."

☆ A Yale economist says a risky type of mortgage that contributed to the 2008 crash could save you money in the long run — if you can stomach uncertainty
  + stars: | 2022-11-02 | by ( Jacob Zinkula | Alcynna Lloyd | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Most Americans have a fixed rate mortgage, meaning their interest rate stays steady over time. A Yale economist says adjustable rate mortgages can help borrowers save money on interest in the long run. They're less predictable than fixed-mortgages, but are attractive due to their potential to take advantage of times when interest rates are low. "For most people, the adjustable rate mortgage is preferable unless the fixed rate mortgage rate is at a historic low or if you're really stretching your budget to buy your home," Choi said. Ultimately, even if the long-term odds are in the borrower's favor, an adjustable rate mortgage carries its risks.

☆ Russia is making excuses for why it can't stop US-made HIMARS from shredding its military in Ukraine
  + stars: | 2022-10-16 | by ( Michael Peck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Russian forces have struggled to counter Ukraine's use of US-made HIMARS rockets. One Russian defense blog has an explanation: HIMARS has a secret feature that prevents Russian artillery from targeting it. "This greatly distinguishes American systems from conventional MLRS [multiple launch rocket systems], where the projectiles fly along a ballistic trajectory. "Unless the radar happens to be looking in the right place at the right time, it will not detect a HIMARS launch," Cranny-Evans said. While this Avia article appears groundless, Russian defense blogs — which often have links to the Russian government and military — can be quite illuminating.

☆ Tesla aims to cut wildfire smoke exposure for Nevada Gigafactory workers, memo explains
  + stars: | 2022-09-17 | by ( Lora Kolodny | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
As a massive wildfire chewed through tens of thousands of acres in California over the past week, smoke and ash billowed into nearby towns including Sparks — home to Tesla's Gigafactory in Nevada. Overall air quality around the Tesla facility was ranked "unhealthy" to "very unhealthy" on Thursday and Friday with around 57 micrograms of fine particulate matter per cubic meter of air, according to the U.S. Air Quality Index. When air quality is that poor, people of all ages are advised to seriously limit outdoor activities, and wear a mask outside to filter smoke and other pollutants. Nevada Gigafactory HVAC filters have been upgraded to a MERV 13 level or higher over the past year to capture wildfire particulates. California's Caldor Fire, for example, burned more than 220,000 acres in 2021, destroying homes, land and leading to hazardous air quality in surrounding areas including in Nevada.
